"This presentation was a discussion between two roommates (Abril and Mallory) about how formative experiences have shaped our social and political beliefs. We portray ourselves and discuss things that actually happened to us. Our audience was each other, as our conversation was meant to open up to the other roommate. We developed this idea, because at the beginning of the school year we were not sure what each other's beliefs would be. However, through discussions similar to the one showcased in our presentation, we realized that we were more similar than we thought. In our discussion, we apply theories we have learned in class such as Greene's fast-thinking and utilitarianism, and Bourdieu's capital and symbolic violence. This conversation proves that despite different experiences, you can find shared thought processes and belief systems.
"Despite different regional and familial upbringings, two people through an educated conversation can come to an agreement on societal perspectives."
